One reason I went into "comedy-article intro-writing" instead of "hard journalism" was the realization that I just don't have the "nose for news." For example, when I saw Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman bark out 30 seconds of taunts and boasts after the NFC Championship Game, I thought "well at least that was more interesting than the usual boring, pointless sideline interview" instead of instinctively recognizing "this is an important cultural flashpoint for some reason and deserves to dominate the national conversation for days to come!" Realizing the gravity of the situation, some posters in SA's Football Funhouse forum wrote serious words about racist tweets and cultural context, but fortunately their efforts were overshadowed by pro-wrestling-themed jokes!

How the fuck can anyone be offended by a real life person sounding like a professional wrestler for 30 seconds?

Percy Harvin cleared for Superbowl, but turns around and runs into the endzone for a safety, takes off his jersey, reveals a Broncos jersey, then body slams an incredulous Russell Wilson onto the Univision section of the press box while Troy Aikman yells NOOOO NOOOO NOOO
R.D. Mangles
Sherman climbs the ladder and prepares another brutal body slam against a prone Peyton Manning.
Troy: SOMEONE NEEDS TO STOP THIS! SHERMAN HAS LOST HIS MIND! PEYTON IS COMPLETELY UNABLE TO DEFEND HIMSELF OUT THERE!
Joe: WAIT A MINUTE, THAT'S ELI MANNING'S MUSIC! (Hip to be square blares into the arena)
The Seattle secondary begins pummeling Eli and he is thrown on top of Peyton as Sherman slowly climbs the ladder again
Troy: MR. GOODELL! MR. GOODELL! WHERE'S THE OFFICIATING CREW? THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!
Joe: (silence)
Joe: (silence)
Sherman lands on the Mannings with a disturbing thud.
Joe: that's a disgusting act

Tirico: And there it is! Brees has put Kaepernick in The Birthmark! I don't believe it, Kaepernick is going to tap! And McCoy can only stare ahead into the distance, unable to understand what's going on.
Gruden: THIS GUY MCCOY. I CALL HIM THE HUNG-OVER TOURIST BECAUSE HIS HEAD HURTS AND HE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE THE HECK HE IS.
Tirico: And Brees is going over to celebrate with his teammate. OH NO WHAT'S HAPPENING? LUKE MCCOWN JUST HIT HIM IN THE FACE WITH THE CHAMPIONSHIP BELT! BREES IS DOWN!
Gruden: That's some great treachery right there, Mike! I haven't seen anything like that since Kim Philby. I tell you what, if you want to see a guy turn on a dime and hit you in the face with an inanimate object, you need a guy like Luke McCown, a guy who's seen it all, a Gruden Perfidy Grinder.
(Survivor's Burning Heart blares out into the arena)
Tirico: THAT'S JOSH MCCOWN! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
Josh McCown climbs up into the ring, grabs the belt with Luke as they celebrate over Brees's prone body
Tirico: I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT'S HAPPENING! THE MCCOWN BROTHERS ARE BACK TOGETHER!
Luke McCown runs back stage as the cameras follow him. He picks up Cooper Manning and throws him into four full Gatorade dispensers.
Gruden: I love these guys.

I'm dead and buried oh yeah,
Hi my name is Jack and I'm living proof of a dead man walking,
This spirit, this body that's still talking,
It's too late to take precautions my whole worlds already fallen apart, broke as easy as porcelain
And all because I didn't wear a hat when I fucked a yat, now I wish I never even took her back to my flat,
I've been cursed from my dick to the hearse, I can't think of nothing worse and it hurts,
'Cos all this pain I've inflicted on myself, always thought casual sex would do me good never bad for my health,
What a foolish thing to think, if I had an ounce of heart left it would probably sink, now I'm on the brink of death,
Seemingly there was nothing left for me too look forward to in this life I leave, I'm at my wits end and I can no longer Pretend to be a happy person when'... I'm dead and buried
I'm dead and buried oh yeah,
There ain't no hope left for me in this world no,
I'm dead already,
Can never live in heaven when I live in hell,
I'm living in hell'
Hi my name is Alex and I'm a drug addict name any illegal substance on this planet, I've had it,
Leave anything valuable lying around and I'll grab it, I'll do absolutely anything to support my habit,
'Cos without my buzz I'm a nervous wreck, an insecure smackhead running out of veins to inject,
Reality checks get me so upset, gonna make me realise my life's a fucking mess and I ain't got no where to go 'cos my Family hates me, paranoia sets in and the whole worlds against me, so I buy another 20 bag of scag,
Take it all in one go like an arsehole being fucked by a fag, and all my worries get washed away in an instant,
Yo as soon as the rush hits my brain there's a distance, between fact and fiction the truth hurts so much though I've Become a slave to this addiction, I owe dangerous people money I can't afford to pay, every penny gets spent on this Buzz my body craves, it's man made, A grade, powder with a dark shade I'm too far gone now to ever be saved'I'm Dead and buried
I'm dead and buried oh yeah,
There ain't no hope left for me in this world no,
I'm dead already,
Can never live in heaven when I live in hell,
I'm living in hell'
Alright listen up, can't tell you my name for legal purposes 'cos I'm a convicted felon, looking at 15 years inside and I'm Only 27, court told me they'd knock it down to at least 11, on good behaviour get bail after reduced sentence, But things ain't looking good for me back at the scrubs, already caught up in world of violence and drugs, walked into This shit with my eyes closed looking a mug, came in as a man now it's turning me out as a thug, I've shank twin mates Already, one of them's dead the other's close to recovering and is after my head, there's nothing I can do now 'cos I've Made my bed, just gonna have to lie in it and watch where I tread, yo I made a mistake and I know that now, the only Reason I'm in here is 'cos I thought somehow that what I was doing was right, when I loaded up that shotgun and Attempted to end that mans life, yo what the fuck would you do if you was in my position? Found out your sisters been Beaten into submission, by her own boyfriend on the floor of her own kitchen and violently raped by him as he tells her To stop bitching, yeah you'd do the exact same thing as me, play God with a sawn off and cap him in his knee, you'd Chop his balls of if you had the opportunity, cut his dick in half and leave him with only an inch to pee, only to find out That it was all in vain 'cos your dumb bitch of a sisters got back together with him again, they're engaged to get Married, you're going insane, contemplating a life in prison where you're gonna remain, You're dead and buried'
Oh yeah,
I'm dead and buried,
As good as already half dead,
Dunno if I got any heart left,
I'm dead and buried,

Jewel and Nancy O'Dell have dropped out because of injuries. Looks as if they will announce their replacements on Monday's season premiere. Full announcement after the jump.
Multi-platinum singer/songwriter Jewel and "Access Hollywood" host Nancy O'Dell have withdrawn from Season Eight of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" citing injuries. Jewel was diagnosed with a fractured tibia in both legs, O'Dell a torn meniscus. The injuries were sustained while training for the competition.
Jewel and O'Dell will appear on the season premiere of "Dancing with the Stars," MONDAY, MARCH 9 (8:00-10:02 p.m., ET) to address their injuries. The women were paired with professional dancers Tony Dovolani and Dmitry Chaplin, respectively. Additional changes to the cast will also be announced during Monday's premiere.
"Like most sports, dancing can be a demanding, physical activity. Each participant of 'Dancing with the Stars' warrants in contract that they are physically fit enough to participate in the competition. We love and appreciate Nancy and Jewel's competitive spirit, drive and desire to perform their best. Though we share in their disappointment that they can no longer continue, their physical well-being takes precedent above all else. We thank them both for giving it their all and wish them a quick and full recovery," said Executive Producer Conrad Green.
"When the doctors told me my injuries were so severe that I couldn't walk, let alone compete, I was devastated that I couldn't continue the show," said Jewel. "I have every intention of being at 'Dancing with the Stars' this season supporting my husband, Ty, and his partner, Chelsie (Hightower). I hope to be back on the show in the future."
"Beyond disappointment doesn't even being to describe how I feel about not being able to continue on 'Dancing with the Stars,'" said O'Dell. "It has been one of my favorite shows since Season One! But I have torn the meniscus in my knee in two places, which requires surgery. 'Dancing with the Stars' was a great experience. I'll miss working with my partner, Tony Dovolani, and all the other wonderful people on the amazing production that is 'Dancing with the Stars'"
Hosted by Tom Bergeron ("America's Funniest Home Videos") and Samantha Harris ("The Insider"), "Dancing with the Stars" is the U.S. version of the international smash hit series, "Strictly Come Dancing." This version is produced by BBC Worldwide Productions. Conrad Green serves as executive producer and Rob Wade and Matilda Zoltowski are co-executive producers. Alex Rudzinski directs. "Dancing with the Stars" is broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC's selected HDTV format, with 5.1 channel surround sound and Spanish audio via SAP.

Their work at the Center for Brain Repair has included extensive research around ADHD, a neurobehavioral disorder affecting about 10 percent of children and 5 percent of adults in the United States. Researchers have struggled to produce a definitive scientific explanation for a spike in ADHD diagnoses in the last few decades.
"Some reports show up to a 40 percent increase in cases of ADHD in one generation, basically," Bhide said. "It cannot be because a mutation occurred; it takes several generations for that to happen."
One possible contributing factor, though unproven, is that the current spike in ADHD cases correlates in some manner to an increase in the number of women who smoked during pregnancy as cigarettes became fashionable in the United States around the time of World War II and in the decades that followed.
"Other research has shown a very high correlation between heavy smoking during pregnancy and the incidence of kids with ADHD," Bhide said.
"What's important about our study is that we are seeing that changes occurring in my grandparents' genome because of smoking during pregnancy are being passed to my child. So if my child had ADHD it might not matter that I did not have a disposition or that I never smoked."
Bhide cautions that the work, though conclusive, is based on a study in mice, which have served as a proxy for human phenotypes.
"It's not that every child born to a mother who smokes has ADHD, and it also isn't true that every person with ADHD will transmit the genetic material responsible," he said.
"But our work has opened up new possibilities. The next question is how does transmission to future generations happen? What is the mechanism? And the second question is, if the individual is treated successfully would that stop the

A Moody, Somewhat Self-Indulgent Introvert's Search for Spiritual Community
What Christians Can Learn from Buddhists About Suffering
Fall books
What are the best books for ministry written in the 21st century? We asked seven pastors to pick their favorites. — Ed.
Books Change
In August 1994, I was an introspective, brainy 16-year-old, fresh from a summer in Israel with a busload of other 16-year-olds. On my last morning in Jerusalem, I had watched the sun rise: cool breezes over ancient golden stones. I heard church bells ring and the Muslim call to prayer, whispering my own Hebrew dreams into fuzzy pink air. As a Jewish teen who went (reluctantly) to Israel for the Roman ruins but stayed for the prayers, when we chanted under desert stars I was suspended somewhere in between Reform Jewish teenagerhood and a future as a religious studies professor—plus my always evolving, complex relationship with Jewish adulthood.
This was when I first encountered Rodger Kamenetz's The Jew in the Lotus: A Poet's Rediscovery of Jewish Identity in Buddhist India.
My semester teaching Saudis
The faculty heard about a large influx of Saudi students on campus. I didn't expect to find them all in my world religions class.
The Spirit-filled art of Sawai Chinnawong
Chinnawong is persuaded that he must live into the gospel as a Thai artist. But the pastor who baptized him called his paintings "Buddhist."
Ever since Westerners discovered Asian cultures they have been intrigued by possible relationships between Christianity and Buddhism.
Cuban film director Fernando Pérez was inspired to make Life Is to Whistle by the work of modernist painter René Magritte, in whose work "reality does not stop being reality, but is, at once, another reality." Magritte's paintings have been described as "elaborate fantasies constructed around commonplace situations." Life Is to Whistle is an energetic look at commonplace situa
St. Augustine told Christian pastors that their most eloquent instruction would lie not in their words but in their lives. The Dalai Lama's new book is an example of that principle still at work. Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, offers his wisdom for handling the problems of life, ranging from personal discontent to global conflicts.
Jesus: Symbol of God, by Roger Haight, S.J.
Since the Vietnam War era, Thich Nhat Hanh has been known to North Americans as an activist for peace and justice and an interpreter of Vietnamese Buddhism and culture. Martin Luther King Jr. and Thomas Merton were his friends.
Buddhism has entered North America in ways that are transforming both the Buddhist tradition and North American culture. Images of Buddhism have inundated advertising, sports, movies and politics. The Nobel Prize laureate Dalai Lama has become one of the icons of the age. Metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and New York have significant Buddhist populations.

"The casting is a hoot because we have to find a 70-year-old David Cameron and a 50-year-old Ant and Dec."
– Armando Iannucci, god of all he surveys, creator of The Day Today and The Thick of It, on his upcoming "fake history programme" Time Trumpet (BBC2).
Iannucci's interview in this week's Radio Times is blissfully quotable. I'll probably get community service if I transcribe the whole thing, but it's good manners to share a few choice chunks.
After the break: Iannucci on Paxman, Coke and Satan
"Will my comedy be remembered in 50 years? I expect it's just stuff."
"Everything is bullshit. A weight drops from your shoulders when you realise that every institution is run by people who make it up as they go along. Even the head of Coca-Cola probably asks on a daily basis: 'What do we do now?'"
"I don't see merit in [Jeremy Paxman] automatically flinging the opposite back at a politician. Viewers are gravitating towards programmes like Question Time where politicians are given a chance to say more."
"I got my teenage years slightly wrong."
"I am a bit of a cult, which means 'unpopular'. But I enjoy performing. Maybe it's therapy. It's far better for the country that I do that than be in charge of the economy."
"Part of the anger that drew me to do The Thick of It is my feeling that Blair is a demented manslaughterer, and there's no debate about it. I'd like viewers to think, 'My God, is that how it really happens? We ought to do something.'"
"David Cameron says he was in industry. He was a PR for a media company, where he was known as Satan, I'm told."

Round 5- A strong rushing attack is what the Texans offense is built upon, and since the position is prone to injury, we decided to grab another backup.
I disagree with the southpaw thing. I think it changes some things, but not a whole, whole lot.
In the third round I'd rather get a guy that has a better chance of contributing this season either on special teams or in a set package.
Yes, we had unfortunate injuries at QB this year, but that is not the norm. We shouldn't plan on it being like that every year. Plus, I like Yates. If we are going to go QB I'd rather go after one of the top tier ones. Make a serious move up for RGIII...Otherwise I'd rather see a guy like Pead in the third that can return kicks and get some snaps as a running back. RB is the roughest position to play. Arian was banged up this year, Tate was out all of last year.
I'd rather invest a third on a RB/returner this year rather than QB.
I'm hoping for Pead all the way in that third round.
JMO....No offense to you guys, I appreciate the time you guys take.

Homocysteine in small-for-gestational age and appropriate-for-gestational age preterm neonates from mothers receiving folic acid supplementation. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 20482301 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
BACKGROUND: Prematurity and small-for-gestational age (SGA) neonates are at risk for postnatal complications. Concentrations of total homocysteine (tHcy) might be related to neonatal outcome. We hypothesized that concentrations of tHcy are not related to growth restriction in neonates from mothers receiving 5 mg/day folic acid. We studied a total of 133 preterm neonates from normotensive mothers; SGA (n=96) and appropriate-for-gestational age (AGA, n=37). METHODS: Concentrations of tHcy, folate and vitamin B12 were measured in venous umbilical cord plasma. RESULTS: AGA preterm neonates had higher mean birth weight (BW) compared to SGA preterms (2472 g vs. 2007 g; p<0.001) of comparable mean gestational age (GA) (35.1 vs. 35.7 weeks; p=0.059). Concentrations of tHcy (4.86 vs. 4.95 micromol/L), folate (63.3 vs. 55.7 nmol/L), and vitamin B12 (409 vs. 394 pmol/L) were not significantly different between the groups. GA was a strong positive predictor, BW was a significant negative predictor of cord plasma folate. Vitamin B12 concentration was a significant negative predictor of cord tHcy. CONCLUSIONS: Concentrations of tHcy did not differ between SGA and AGA preterm neonates born to mothers supplemented with folic acid. This finding argues against a causal role for folate deficiency or increased tHcy in growth restriction. |

URI Greeks take home top honors from regional conference
Media Contact:
KINGSTON, R.I.-March 24, 2009 – The University of Rhode Island Greek community returned home from the Northeast Greek Leadership Association (NGLA) Conference last month as the conference's top awards winner.
URI's Greeks received six out of the eight programming excellence awards, more than any other college or university. Drexel University in Philadelphia was the runner up, taking home five awards.
URI won the Academic Achievement, Interfraternity Council Management, Pan-Hellenic Council Management, Leadership and Educational Development, Philanthropy and Community Service, and Risk Management and Reduction awards. Conference awards are given to "campuses whose entire Greek community exemplifies the ideals and values that NGLA has promoted," according to NGLA's website www.ngla.org.
This is not the first time URI has won awards. In 2008, URI's Greek community *took home 13 out of a possible 17 awards. In 2007, they took home 11 out of a possible 17 awards.
"URI Greek leaders have begun to build a tradition of excellence," said URI Director of Greek Affairs Steve Simo. "This year's awards banquet really reinforces that." Simo has served as director of URI Greek Affairs since 2005 when the position became a full time job.
"Our Greek system continues to focus on the principals on which they were founded: leadership, scholarship, and service. It is thrilling to know that others outside the university continue to recognize and reward the outstanding work of our URI student leadership," said Tom Dougan, URI's vice president of student affairs.
The conference is held each February and brings together student leaders of the Greek community from colleges and universities throughout the northeast. This year's conference was held at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, Conn. More than 550 students from 69 different schools between Virginia and Maine were in attendance.
The Interfraternity Council is the governing board of URI's 12 fraternities while the Pan-Hellenic Council is the governing body of URI's 10 sororities. The two councils work together to create programming for the Greek community, promote Greek life, and promote the Greek values of leadership, scholarship, philanthropy and community service, and fellowship. Council board members are undergraduate students elected by fraternities and sororities.

I would like to build my own outdoor booth in which I will be selling various gourmet coffee's. I've been looking at Victorian playhouses to get some ideas. I love the way they look but don't necessarily need an entire house. I need to make a booth that has three sides, shelving underneath, and something overhead to protect me from the sun. Any suggestions??????
- Forum >
- Miscellaneous >
- Outdoor Booth for selling coffee
fabric is a good tool! and faux scenery! something like a ridged table on the bottom and some wire structure festooning with fabric... the fabric can be layered and segments or so long it starts at the point above you coming to a pinnicle maybe with some sort of name/medallian or plastic flowers/ basically a focal point. next the fabric would go out to the right and left with swags that define your booth space... running down on the sides like curtains. you could take it up quick or close the curtains. all you would need is a little structure behind to hold up the curtins at 2 points on either side. it would really get peoples eye and be a quick 5 minute setup and tear down. or you could use the fabric the same way and take sheets of plywood and slighty cut them out and hinge them so it would be like a book on either side. then cover them with fabric. to put up or tear down... first place the 2 pieces of plywood facing the crowd and touching each other and open the bookends. then drape with the fabric and signs. elegant and eye catching .. no? a lot better then a fold up table and poster board...LOL

Remember the good ole days wearing flip flops, sun in your eyes and without the worries. This condo will offer that awe moment where you listen to the motion of waves, mesmerized by blue waters, and where meditation just happens.
Most sought after prime location on the Garden Isle. Near the mouth of the Wailua river, centrally located between north and south shores, making all attractions easy.
Coconut coast has the perfect blend of temperature from both north and south making this an ideal destination. Properties with this proximity to the ocean are rare. Where else can you go and jump on a bicycle, go in either direction on a coastal bike path that lead you to white sand beaches, snorkel in either direction, Kayak or paddle board up the Wailua river, walk to shop, hike an historic trail, or head over to listen to some local live music.
Once home to the historic royalty, and recently named by Forbes magazine as the prettiest little towns. This unique gem is the site of an old Japanese Shinto temple with an old rock etched with kanji still remains of its presence. This condo is well equipped with all you need from ceiling fans, to a full kitchen making this the perfect getaway. This direct ocean gem will whisk you away with its ocean breeze, private Lanai and meandering pathways lined with palms, gingers, and other tropical flora that lead you to your door. Most sought after destination points by locals of neighboring islands..
The Zen Design is minimalist but elegant. Everything in the unit is meant to calm the spirit and rest the eye. A perfect retreat for just letting go, away from it all and yet perfectly situated to be accessible to Kauai's best.
Why this property-- location, location, location. You do not get any closer to the ocean or beach then here! You have no highway noises, no parking fees, no check in fees, no nightly amenity fees, no wifi fees, you have no massive buildings.. Simple, peaceful and charming. 'Old hawaii' is waiting for you.
PLEASE CHECK www.pacificcondoskauai.com for availability AS THIS CALENDAR IS NOT UP TO DATE. I have a few other beautiful properties
I work in the healthcare profession for over 27 years. I fell in love with Kauai in 2005. Slowly I have been trying to create a life in Kauai, by having a small slice of paradise gives me great excuses to visit more often and take time out of my busy life. This property is very new to being privately managed. I just remodeled the entire unit. so everything is new and fresh.
email@example.com purchased this studio in 2013
The site of an old Japanese Shinto temple –An old rock etched with kanji still remains of its presence. This location is full of rich history and you too will soon to discover what a wonderful place this is?
The healing power of this location is beyond words. As the waves crash against the shore, the smell of the rich oxygen in the air, surrounding by the lush live of vegetation and entertained by natures amazing wonders of turtles, whales and migrating birds. It really is magical
The intimate setting, nestled on the eastern seaside coast, slightly elevated above the sand giving you Big ocean views, great sound of the surf to create a perfect lullaby for a restful night sleep. Kapaa sands is a very small comples of 24 units. With approximately 16 units on the direct ocean.
From the very first seconds we felt in love with Mary's place, it was for sure what was described and even better, the view is out of this world, we never thought it was going to be that beautiful, imaging having the ocean right next to you when you sleep... very very very special. We cooked almost every day since it has a complete kitchen, anything you need for cooking or baking is here. There was snorkeling gear, binoculars, music, cable TV, the bed (wow fantastic and very comfortable). The location of the place is perfect because it has a mini-private beach and it is nearby many places for groceries shopping and souvenirs. A couple of friends that stayed at the Marriot Hotel told us, after visiting us for a day, that next time they will definitely choose this place for their stay. And the place was very clean and organized perfectly. Regarding Mary, she responds very quickly to any phone calls, and she addresses any questions or concerns in the same call, so that was very assuring for us which made us feel we are in good hands and under a very serious person in charge. Thanks Mary, it was an honor to spend those 8 days at your place, and we will come back again, and again, and again. Loved it! 5+ stars!
Response from Mary:
Aloha Gustavo, It was a complete pleasure having you stay at this amazing ocean gem. We are looking forward to your return Mahalo Mary
Nothing but good news here--my partner and I have exprienced lots of accommodations in our 17 years of travel together---this place was A+ for what matters to us. Clean, completely furnished, wonderful view, fairly priced for a wonderful oceanside setting. Walking distance to shops and restaurants ( not our biggest need but certainly handy). Snorkeling literally right outside the front door. Handy drive to more restaurants and the hiking and beaches of the island. Well equipped kitchen and bathroom--just simply --nice. The second floor was great--kids now and then down below were not a problem for us. The owners could make it easier to find by referencing that there is a sign:"Kapa'a Sands" at the entrance to our parking lot. Without question we would return to this condo.
We loved this place. My wife and I spent eleven fabulous days on our honeymoon. The location is great, easy jog to the north or south coasts. The view from the deck is probably on a postcard somewhere. We could view the sunrise from the bed. The place is very tastefully decorated and updated. There were beach chairs, snorkel gear and a boogie board for our use. It is walking distance to some good restaurants - the Huki Lau Lanai is a great restaurant and the Trees lounge is a great place to see some local musicians, just down the street in the Coconut Grove. There is also a farmers market there on Tuesdays and Fridays. Shop at the Food King not Safeway, much cheaper. We went to Costco on our way in and picked up some steak and lobster but the Food King has everything and much more convenient.
Don't hesitate to book this place if you want a quiet, relaxing stay!
Unforgettable journey on Kaua'i! Five wonderful days in Kapa'a! This sea front condo is tastefully decorated, very clean and well equipped. Located in a peaceful area, it is surrounded by lush vegetation and next to a nice little beach. Even the waves are singing lullabies at night! Kapa'a will seduce you! This small town offers everything you need from groceries (Superstore), restaurants, pharmacies to gift shops. Its location facilitates day trips/activities from Po'ipu to the north shore beaches of Kaua'i. There is so much to do in the area, we strongly recommend a minimum stay of 5 days.
We loved this apartment. Although small, it was perfect for the two of us. We loved the lanai and more than once opted to bring "take out" so to be able to sit and eat outside, listening to the surf. There is an unobstructed view of the ocean.
The apartment was clean (although the small throw rug was pretty worn and probably should be replaced).
We would absolutely return here if we were to stay at Kapaa again.
Loved the unit. Mary was great with communication. This unit is on the second floor of a 4 unit building. Balcony looks right outside like the picture. The sand is amazing, its not sand, it is small pebbles that is amazing and great! There is a lagoon type thing on the beach if its not high tide that is utilized. There is a tree swing as well. Very private area. Unit has everything you see.
No A/C , just a fan and windows to use. So may get stuffy if you are a a/c person. Parking is right in front and private so very easy. There is a pool area with a grill if needed. The unit comes stocked with everything you need. The shower is standup shower and bathroom is small. Works great, but if you are obese or large person, the bathroom area/shower may not be a good fit.
There is a hose to spray down your self before you get to your unit. Loved it! Unit has supplies for snorkeling as well.
Right down the street from some shops and stores. Try out the bakery shop for sure down the street. The korean BBQ place was good too. Clean unit overall. Kept in good condition. Wifi works as well. Would love to stay here again but probably. I love to sleep in cold temp but with windows open and the sound of the ocean, it was great still. Very private secluded complex.
My husband and I were so thrilled when we walked in the door of this condo. Everything was so inviting and CLEAN. The light blue and white beach decor made us feel at home; yet we were in paradise. It is obvious that Mary cares very much for her condo and we were sure to respect her wishes (pull back white comforter) and did our best to leave the place in better condition than when we arrived (hard to do here!).
I very much recommend this place to any couple looking for a nice, clean, comfortable place to stay while in Kauai. Customary to many who reside on the island- there is no air conditioning. There is a ceiling fan and full sliding door that allows a cool breeze all night. The ocean is VERY close and can get a bit loud so we also recommend ear plugs for the early morning if you are sensitive to waking early. That said, we recommend rising with the sun to watch and listen to the beautiful sunrise that greets you each day :)
East Coast of Kauai, centrally located to access both the south and north shores. Near the mouth of the Wailua River, easy access to Kayaking, hiking, snorkeling and paddle boarding. This is the begining of the beautiful bike path that snugs the coast line for miles.

Once a great empire, Iran has been traditionally known to the world as Persia. Archeological findings have placed knowledge of Iranian prehistory at middle Paleolithic times (100,000 years ago). Iran was a major transit route on the famous trade Silk Road. Despite millennia of historical upheavals and foreign invaders, Iran has maintained its national and cultural identity as one of the seats of civilization. In 1979, the monarchy regime was toppled down in the revolutionary movement and the nation chose an Islamic republic system of government at a referendum.

New York, NY (7/16/13) - There comes a point in almost every fighter's career when they have to face a crossroads. This Friday night, in the main event of ESPN's Friday Night Fights,WBC #3-rated junior welterweight Olusegun Ajose (31-1, 14KO's) and longtime lightweight contender "Hammerin'" Hank Lundy (22-3-1, 11KO's) will face just that when the two square off in their 10-round junior welterweight showdown. The bout, promoted by DiBella Entertainment in association with Gary Shaw Productions and Classic Entertainment & Sports, will carry heavy implications for the two pugilists' respective careers. The winner puts himself in a very good position in the talent-laden 140lb. division, while the loser sees his career fall deep into jeopardy.
"This fight means a lot to me and is very important for my career," said Ajose. "I want my name to be amongst the elite of the 140lb. division."
"This fight means a lot. I just came off two recent losses that I thought I won-especially the one in Ukraine," said Lundy. "I really beat that guy [Viktor Postol], but I didn't get a fair shake. For this fight, I'm going to go in there and show the world that this isn't the last of Hammerin' Hank. I'm a force at 140 now."
Lundy continued, "I'm looking to prove that Hammerin' Hank is one of the elite fighters in the world. Everyone knows [Olusegun] from taking a beating against Matthysse. I've already been in the top 10 in the world and this will be the second time once I beat this guy. I'm a world-class fighter and a soon-to-be world-class champion. I'm going in there to give it my all."
In his only defeat as a professional, Ajose was stopped in a high intensity shootout with interim WBC light welterweight champion, and one of boxing's pound-for-pound most devastating punchers, Lucas Matthysse. Ajose and Matthysse went to war from the opening bell before Ajose was finally stopped in the 10th round of their 12-round championship battle. The bout was viewed as one of the most exciting of 2012, and while Ajose came up on the losing end, his stock certainly rose. Now, Ajose knows a win over the proven Lundy will put himself back in line for another crack at the coveted world championship.
"I know that Lundy is a good and skillful boxer and he is very tough. He always comes to fight and I do not expect an easy fight. That being said though, I know that I will come out victorious on Friday night. If I need to go to war to win this fight then I will do just that. If I need to box, then I can do that too. Whatever I have to do to win this fight I will do. I want to prove to everyone that I am a better fighter than what people saw against Matthysse."
While Ajose is confident going into this matchup and dreams of bigger and better things to come in his career, he is certainly not making the mistake of looking past his foe.
"I have my eyes set on Lundy right now and no one else. If I want to move forward in my career, I must win on Friday night. After Friday, I will talk about what is next for me, but without a win, there is no next and that is why I am taking this fight so seriously."
Lundy echoed similar sentiments regarding the importance of this fight, but he did admit to having one particular fighter in his sites.
"It's a do-or-die fight and I'm letting everything hang out on Friday. I'm going to come in there and put on a show and get a win against a guy ranked [No. 3] in the WBC. It'll be real big to come in there and handle business. That puts me in the No. 2 or No. 3 spot and gives me a chance to fight for a title.
"I'll give props where props are due. I respect Danny Garcia. We're both Philadelphia guys, but if I win, I want Matthysse. Everyone is running from the big bad wolf. Hammerin' Hank won't run from no one. Let's fight. Then I'll go from there and fight the champ."
The entire card is promoted by DiBella Entertainment, in association with Gary Shaw Productions, Classic Entertainment & Sports, and Rumble Time Promotions, and sponsored by Corona. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. ET, with the first bout scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. The televised portion of the card will be aired at 10:30 p.m. ET, on ESPN2, ESPN Deportes and WatchESPN. In the televised co-feature bout, undefeated up-and-coming prospects Ryan "The Polish Prince" Kielczweski (16-0, 3KO's) and Miguel "Mikito" Soto (11-0, 11KO's) put their unblemished records on the line in an eight-round super featherweight clash.

Good Data Quality Read on Rittman-Mead's Blog, and validating input with data rules
By antonio romero on Oct 28, 2008
There's a good read over on the Rittman-Mead Consulting blog on End-to-End data quality. OWB would be a good tool to implement parts of the solution they have in mind-- to do an initial DQ assessment, and to do cleansing during load. And DQ reporting on both the sources and the target system is certainly doable, using data auditors and your favorite BI application, to prove to the powers above that the problem isn't yours.
Input validation is where OWB's answer is a bit less obvious, though. Enforcing the OWB DQ rules during input validation is doable, I think, but you have to be creative. Here's how I'd go about it...

Marc Loftus
NEW YORK — If there's a pre-schooler in your household, you probably know all about
The Wonder Pets
, a trio of classroom animals that come together after school lets out to save fellow baby animals in need.
"Teamwork" is the theme for every storyline, and the stars: "Linny, Tuck and Ming Ming too" — a guinea pig, turtle and duckling, respectively — sing their way through each animated episode, donning superhero capes and using collaborative thinking to figure out how to rescue their new friends.
And like the program itself, the show's production also relies on teamwork. New York's Little Airplane Productions (www.littleairplane.com), located in lower Manhattan, is home to
The Wonder Pets,
which recently entered into its third season of production. The show airs on Nickelodeon here in the US, but is seen worldwide.
Josh Selig is the creator of
The Wonder Pets
, which spun out of two interstitials the studio created for the network. Little Airplane's Jennifer Oxley is the show's creative director and explains that the two interstitials led to the studio creating a "pitch bible" that was well received by Nickelodeon. [Listen to Josh Selig explain the concept of a pitch bible in Post's exclusive online Podcast] "They liked the bible, and they commissioned a pilot," Oxley recalls. The rest is history, as they say.
The show's quirky-yet-cute look is the result of a combination of photographic elements that are animated using Adobe After Effects. Little Airplane calls the unique animated style "photo puppetry," whereby photographs of real animals and backgrounds are used to create colorful and realistic animation that is grounded in reality.
"Our visual style is based on photos," says Oxley, "so — except when they go into a clay world or pop-up book world — the majority of the worlds they go into are photo-based. We acquire these photos ourselves. We have a production photographer on site that does photo casting for the backgrounds and the characters."
Little Airplane will then select the best photo of a guinea pig, duckling, or in the case of Tuck the turtle, Oxley's own Red-Eared Slider, and run it through their "cute-ification" process. "We take the photos to the next level and make it into a character that they can animate. We make it cuter, we clean it up, but we still stay true to its original look."
The studio has the photos of the actual animals on display, and it's pretty amazing to see how closely the on-screen characters resemble their real-life counterparts.
"That's where the photo casting comes in," says Oxley. "You really don't want to work on it too much, because once it gets overworked, it starts to not look real anymore."
Little Airplane is a multi-level, Mac-centric facility, though each floor has an open floor plan that allows designers, storyboard artists, blockers, compositors and animators to work along side of each other. There's an estimated team of 50 in-house, including full audio facilities [see our News section], and as many as 12 episodes are in production at any given time.
It takes around 35 weeks to complete each 11:30 program, and that includes writing, research, storyboarding, design and animation.
The program's production pipeline came together six or seven years ago, Oxley explains, and relies on Adobe's toolset. "When Josh called me and said he wanted to do the two interstitials, all he said was, 'I want them to be based on real photos and I want to animate.' That's where I came in and started thinking about how this would actually get animated. At that time, I had been working in After Effects and knew that the program would be perfect. There [were] a lot of other ways that we could have done it. We could have done it in CG, and I'm sure we probably could have done it in Flash, but at the time, After Effects seemed like the way to go."
And while photos play an important role in each episode, other media is occasionally tapped, as was the case in the "baby parrot" episode, which takes place in a clay world that's based on artwork displayed in the classroom. "We actually modeled all of those characters in clay," notes Oxley. "We sketched out what we wanted them to look like and we had somebody fabricate them in clay and photographed them in those positions, kind of stop-motion style. But we did the final animation in After Effects and it gave us a lot of control."
The team was careful not to overly clean up the photos too. "We kept a lot of those fingerprints and things that make it feel like real 'claymation.'"
Little Airplane created 40 episodes for each of the show's first two seasons, and the same will be done for season three. The studio is simultaneously working on a new series,
3rd & Bird!,
which just debuted in the UK, and a new London location has come online to help with production.
Little Airplane has two file servers for central storage. One is an Apple Xserve with two 2TB RAID volumes. The second is a custom file server with two 5TB RAID volumes housed in a Promise Vtrak RAID storage enclosure. Dedicated render systems are also in-house. Servers are backed up on a nightly basis to an IBM Linear Tape-Open (LTO) four-tape storage library and these tapes are rotated to offsite storage each week.
With other technologies now available, will
The Wonder Pets
evolve into a CG program at some point? "They are doing such amazing things with CG these days that I'm sure it could translate into CG," says Oxley. "But there's something about the real photos that sets it apart, visually, from other shows, and I would hate to lose that because it gives it its quirky charm."

It is very unlikely that Poland will be introducing the euro soon, Polish Finance minister Jacek Rostowski said in a recent interview on Radio Tok FM.
According to Rostowski, Poland won't join the Eurozone until the end of the European Parliament's next four-year term - the next Parliament will be elected 9 October 2012, which will mean not before the end of 2015.
The government in Warsaw says that joining the Eurozone is still one of Poland's long-term strategies, however the monetary union must first overcome its debt crisis and Poland must achieve convergence criteria to enter the third stage of European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU).
Opinion surveys show that at its upcoming election Poland's present leading party The Civil Platform are set for victory, with party leader Donald Tusk strongly in favour of adopting the euro.
Warsaw wanted to join the EMU in 2012, but the global financial crisis has delayed Poland's switching to the euro. To give up its zloty currency, Poland has to lower its budget deficit to less than of 3% of GDP. Last year, the public finance deficit was 7.9% of GDP. Rostowski believes that Poland can accomplish this by the end of 2012.

The World Bank is interested in gauging the views of clients and partners who are either involved in development in Nepal or who observe activities related to social and economic development. The World Bank Country Assessment Survey is meant to give the World Bank's team that works in Nepal, greater insight into how the Bank's work is perceived. This is one tool the World Bank uses to assess the views of its critical stakeholders. With this understanding, the World Bank hopes to develop more effective strategies, outreach and programs that support development in Nepal. The World Bank commissioned an independent firm to oversee the logistics of this effort in Nepal. The survey was designed to achieve the following objectives:
- Assist the World Bank in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Nepal perceive the Bank;
- Obtain systematic feedback from stakeholders in Nepal regarding:
· Their views regarding the general environment in Nepal;
· Their overall attitudes toward the World Bank in Nepal;
· Overall impressions of the World Bank's effectiveness and results, knowledge and research, and communication and information sharing in Nepal; and
· Perceptions of the World Bank's future role in Nepal.
- Use data to help inform the Nepal country team's strategy.
